Dates and Nuts Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- Pitted Dates - 1 and 1/4 cup
- Cashews - 1/4 cup
- Almonds - 1/4 cup
- Pistachios - 1/4 cup
- Clarified butter (Ghee) - 1 tsp
- Sesame seeds/Poppy seeds - 1 & 1/2 tsp
Instructions
- Coarsely grind all the cashews, almonds and pistachios.
- If the dates are already refrigerated when stored, you can use them right away. But if they are at room temperature, refrigerate them for 1/2 to 1 hr so that they are cold. (The reason for using cold dates is so that they can be easily ground in the food processor, otherwise they are sticky and difficult to grind.)
- Use a food processor to grind the dates. Do not pause the processor in between but continue to grind until the dates for a lump.
- Heat ghee in a pan and add the ground nuts. Saute for a minute and keep aside in a kneading bowl.
- In the same pan, dry roast the sesame seeds or poppy seeds until golden brown and keep aside in a separate bowl.
- Mix the lump of dates with the nuts and knead nicely so that the nuts get completely embedded in the dates.
- Roll the lump into a small log and flatten the ends.
- Sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds/poppy seeds in a plate and roll each log in it.
- Keep the logs into the refrigerator for half to one hour and then cut into thick slices.
